Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] DVD Release

I've moved this text from the article:

• As of November 2005, The Nun's Story remains the only major (i.e. successful) film starring Audrey Hepburn that has yet to be released on DVD.

This can't be true: I own such a DVD. The IMDB discussion page also mentions a Korean release of The Nun's Story on DVD. OneNamelessCat 17:54, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• • That's most likely a bootleg. The rights holders of the film have yet to officially release Nun's Story on DVD. 23skidoo 18:42, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
    • What's your source for saying that? The DVD is available at www.whv.co.kr (Warner Home Video Korea). If you click on "Library," it's fourth in the right column. Here's a direct link to image [1] (I can't figure out a direct link to the title description). I would think it highly unlikely that Warner Home Video sells bootleg DVDs.

      • Many DVDs coming out of Asia are bootlegs under North American copyright laws (that's a common fact) -- for example Phantom Menace was available on DVD and VCD from Hong Kong for months before it was officially released. If Warner has put it out then it must only be a Region 2 release. There is no Region 1 release at the present time, and since Region 1 (i.e. United States) was the originating country for the movie, there therefore is no official release of the film on DVD in its originating country. I sincerely hope that changes soon because I consider it to be the best Hepburn film. 23skidoo 02:07, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
        • According to an IMDB poster who claims to have the DVD from Warner, it's Region 1,2,3,4. In any case, AFAIK, it's true that the film hasn't been released on DVD in its originating country, but the current article text doesn't make that qualification.

Just FYI, a North American DVD release of the film has now been announced for April 4, 2006. It's listed, complete with cover art, at Amazon already. 23skidoo 05:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nun story.jpg

Image:Nun story.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
